Food & Beverage Measurement and Process Instrumentation

Health. Safety. Taste.

Precise measurement and process control are mission-critical in the food and beverage industry, for a variety of reasons. Health and safety regulations/guidelines immediately spring to mind, as well as something as basic as consistency. Once a food process leaves “human hands in the kitchen” and enters automation, the importance of the precise measurements of every ingredient cannot be understated.

Food and beverage companies grow partially by being predictable – an Oreo®, a Budweiser®, and a Big Mac® need to taste the same, no matter where they were made. And to achieve this, every aspect of the ingredient chain needs to have strict portion and process control.

To this end, Raska Analytics & Flow Limited is a leading provider of world-class automated solutions for the food and beverage industry. Our team has a long experience in providing effective automated measurement and process solutions for a wide range of food and beverage industries. Schedule a consultation or contact us with any questions.

Some aspects of our food and beverage services include (but are not limited to):

· Ingredient flow control for solids, liquids, and gasses.

· Measuring and analyzing the liquid density of alcohol, dairy, and other beverages.

· Monitoring the pasteurization temperature of milk and other dairy products.

· Monitoring the cooking process/temperatures of food and beverages.

· Ensuring predictable consistency for automated cutting equipment (meat, bread, cheese, etc.).

· Using digital imaging to identify, classify, and regulate ingredients.

· Measuring the moisture content in foods (baked goods, etc.)

· Processing liquid and solid waste to comply with environmental regulations.

As with all of our services, we can handle this end-to-end, or whichever individual aspects you require. From full service to procuring/maintaining equipment to training, we can handle everything you need to maintain the 5-star quality you desire.

Instrumentation and Equipment

We work with a wide array of food and beverage instrumentation from the world’s leading manufacturers. Here are some of the more common equipment types we utilize/procure/sell/maintain.

**Note: This list is not all-encompassing – if you need a piece of food and beverage instrumentation or measurement/process equipment and don’t see it listed, contact us anyway. We will not only know exactly what you require, odds are we either have it in stock, or can get it quickly!

· Flow Meters: Vital in measuring the flow rate of liquids of all consistencies, be it gallons per minute or liters per second.

· Level Measurement Instrumentation: Floats, probes, and switches for measuring and real-time monitoring of fluid levels in tanks and other vessels.

· Pressure Gauges, Sensors, and Transmitters: Measure and display density, fluid levels, flow rates, and much more. Essential for both safety and quality control.

· Temperature Measurement: Sensors and heaters/coolers are essential to cooking processes and storage.

· Process Machinery: Conveyors and automated processing for predictable results.

· Safety Solutions: From process speed control to automatic shutdowns, alarms, and other safety components.

· “Hands Off” Photoelectric and Inductive Sensors: Monitor and orient products without risking contamination.

· Encoders and Signal Conditions: Utilized in many beverage industries for communication between processing equipment.

We can tailor our solutions to your exact requirements and process conditions. Let our experienced staff assist you with finding the most cost-effective food and beverage instrumentation/processing equipment that meets your needs.
